    Well the rain arrived so garden tidy up put off until tomorrow. Did the seasonal clothes swop this afternoon with a couple more into the CS pile and ebay pile.

    Dropped off some clothes at the CS this morning and WI cancelled for this week as the machine had broken.

    Time for some more listings methinks

    More listed now up to 33 active - think that's it for now, and leave the rest for the next free listing weekend.

    Back from a walk around the water park - it was warm out there! Hair treated, kitchen and fridge wiped down and out. Coffee treat time, then some mopping then some tidying up in the garden.

    Budgets updated £10 per week on food for next 2 weeks - luckily don't need too much so should scrape in just at £120.

    Petrol is on track at £25 per week.

    NSD 12 today - well on track for target of 17

    No clothes spend days 14 - on target for a no spend month - 2 weeks achieved with no spends. If I do it, then get a No Spend May too I'll be on target for first the 6mths of 2013 budget. Now that will be amazing!

    Afternoon update

    Tidied the garden up and filled up the recycling bin ready to go - an hour put to good use
    Lovely walk this afternoon, if not a little breezy, down and around the canal.
    39 items listed on ebay this week - lets see how they get on over this coming week.
    Plenty of washing done and dried out on the breezy line, including lots of winter heavyweight stuff all freshened up nicely.
    All cleaning done and dusted bar the floor mopping which I'll do next week at some point
    Time for a couple of hours uni work then I'll fab my nails up later after a facemask and exfoliate - afterall what's the point of buying skincare if you leave them in the bathroom unused - get them used!

    NSD 13 - good result

    Nice long walk with mr dog after work in the sun after work to take advantage of the lovely warm weather and easy tea. Also cooking another tea to freeze for another night to make some easy meal portions - sweet potato and spinach dhal.

    The light evenings certainly make me feel more energetic!

    Oh dear not a NSD today - caved in to a heavily reduced notebook and a beauty product, also very reduced - £2.75 for both so not too much afterall.

    5 items sold on ebay today - not too much but it all counts.

    Time to log off now - see y'all tomorrow

    Usual awful wednesday at work - thank goodness its almost the weekend after tomorrow.

    NSD 14 today!

    Also made myself do some exercise after work after over 2 weeks off. Went ok, still a bit puffed as a result after the break though.

    Tomorrow have my breathing tests to see what's going on, then its off to uni for the research then finally into work for the late night and then its up and out on Friday to work, quick dash to the supermarket, then dash back home for the work placement experience

    See you all on Friday I reckon

    Oh boy am I tired!

    Super busy yesterday zooming around starting reserach interviews, dr appt, careers drop in session, late night at work then up and out this morning back to work and then to voluntary work this afternoon. I haven't felt that tired for a long while as I felt on the way back home.

    So this weekend have a lot to do including muchos studying, garden tidy up again, long dog walks and usual finishing off the housework - phew!

    Forgot to mention - 2 more sales today on ebay plus 7 more with bids on. Almost at £100 in paypal ready to go to pay off one CC, lets see how much the total comes to by Sunday evening when they all finish them I will pay the fees from the balance then pay the rest onto cc debt repayment.

    Must remember to take some more photos this weekend as have plenty still to list on the next free listing weekend in a little pile ready to go as usual!
